The basic idea is: The teacher shows a a movie or video clip. while the action is taking place, the teacher "narrates" and describes what can be seen. If it is a movie clip, the teacher may want to pause the movie at certain scenes that have a lot of material to describe. Below are some examples and links to lesson plans for movie talk.

from the Coprehensible Classroom blog. a 5 minute animation and complete script to describe what's going on.
The clip is about a man who wakes up and proceeds through his morning routine several times. There is a lot of "house" vocabulary and actions such as opening and closing doors going from one room to another going down stairs, etc.
The teacher who posted this movie talk activity suggests using this with the TPRS story called "Cierra la puerta"
